MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers sat down with TMJ4’s Chief Political Reporter Charles Benson this week to discuss his long career in education and his decision not to seek a third term as governor.

Evers, who began his career as a schoolteacher before becoming a principal, state superintendent and eventually governor, reflected on where he believes he’s had the greatest impact on education.

“As far as day-to-day, being a principal was probably the place where I had the most impact on kids,” Evers said. “A larger group of kids, but as far as kind of the policy procedures, money, that sort of thing, the governor’s position is obviously the most important.”

When asked about his accomplishments as governor, Evers acknowledged limitations in achieving his education funding goals.
